Feel free to be loose with your definitions. "Not usually considered a drug" is fine to qualify as "non-drug", for instance. I'm not really thinking so much of "foods", though, but maybe "food ingredients" and substances found in food ingredients are fine, especially if they're quasi-drug-like or if you'd get a lot of the same benefits/enjoyment from it consuming it straight rather than in food.

Also ITT, tell other users why their substances actually are drugs actually.

Mine:

  • Chamomile - good for my mood and gives me vivid dreams.
  • Capsaicin - I and Wilbur Scoville are well acquainted.
  • Cacao - I don't really do cacao any more because I've quit caffeine, but I include it here because I still miss sucking on unsweetend baker's chocolate daily.

I do bitters and neat liquor from time to time. But My hefty bitters collection actually tends to go into both Hot and Cold tea (always something black tea type, I hate green tea). Also do not add sugar or honey to my tea in 80% of that which I make.

The tea + bitters brings out all kinds of complexities that I've grown to enjoy over unadulterated tea. My combos so far:

  • Angostura Orange and Choco (they don't come in the same bottle). This is my daily driver.
  • Fee bros Black Walnut. whoa is super complex but it can be unpleasant with some tea types. Breakfast teas do not do well. SOme of the grays (earl, Lady, Wales) do pretty well with walnut
  • Bitterman makes a couple that I liked , celery, Burlesque, Elemakule Tiki - They are all good in a Iced tea.
  • on the weekends I'll doll the hot tea dolled all the way up with honey and then I do the Angostura regular & Peychaud's. (I think this works well because I brew it into a cast iron pot that can sit at proper temp for a very long time vs a mug of tea at the office desk where the strong bitters don't work well with rapid cooling)
